What kind of brewery is Craft Beer Haban?
Hop BroWouldn't it surprise you to hear that there's a brewery in Ginza making its own beer? Haban is a small brewery in Ginza that's been operating since 2005.
MugiThey brew beer in Ginza? 2005 was before craft beer was really mainstream, right?
Hop BroExactly. The master, Toshio Suzuki, simply loved beer, traveled to breweries around the world to bring back knowledge, and opened his own microbrewery in Ginza. There's brewing equipment inside the shop, and they brew almost every day.
MugiBrewing every day sounds incredibly demanding.
Hop BroOne brew takes 12 hours. They start by boiling the brewing water early in the morning, and brewing keeps going behind the scenes even during business hours. That's why the beer they serve is unfiltered and full of live yeast, genuinely fresh.
MugiFreshly made beer alone sounds luxurious! What kinds do they have?
Hop BroThe standard is "Haban Weizen." It really brings out the rich character of a wheat beer. Their "Haban Dark Beer" has a nice roasted flavor, and you'll also find things like "Chocolate Ale" and "Dunkel Weizen." They also serve seasonal red ales and wheat ales, so the lineup changes every time you visit.
MugiWow, Chocolate Ale sounds interesting!
Hop BroAnd because it's in Ginza, you can relax and drink at a solid wood counter. Their omakase course also includes all-you-can-drink beverages alongside dishes made with seasonal ingredients. Suzuki, who learned by traveling the world, has been handcrafting beer every day in the heart of Ginza for over 20 years. When you think about it calmly, that's pretty amazing.
MugiOver 20 years, every single day...! He's a craftsman quietly and steadily making beer in Ginza. I want to go!
